VAGINAL SYRINGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 350,105, dated October 5, 1886.

Application tiled t) tuberi, 1985.

My invention relates to syringes; and it consists in the im] roved construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure l. is a side elevation of iny improvement, and Fig. 2 is a celltral vertical section of the saine.

The following is thc construction of the same: I forni the shell A of an oval funnel shape and of a gradual taper in the shaft. C With a bulbous-formed end, I3, having a central channel or passage, F, with openings E eon necting with the groves I). The shaft or tapering` portion. C is bent to coincide with the direction of the vaginal canal when the shield is adjusted inthe mouth ofthe vagina.

The bulbous end B is designed to distend the folds of the vagina, and the channels or grooves D prevent the folds of the vagina from pressing into and stopping the openings E, which. lead to the main conduit or nozzle opening F. The hollow stein or eonnecting-tnbe J, which is connected with the shell A bythe screw S, is designedlfor connecting the elastic tube or hose (lwith the elastic reservoir or bulb II.

Silver or any other suitable metal. or vulcanized rubber, celluloid, wood, paper, or any other suitable substance may be used in the manufacture ot' the shell, although I usually employ vulcanized rubber or Celluloid.

The bulb H and hose G, I construct otrub ber or such other material as is usually employed in the manufacture of goods of that class. I connect the hose or exible tube G- Serial No. 178,995?. (No model.)

' with the connecting-stem .I by means of the neck and cnlagelnent orhead shown at K. l press the end of the elastic tube Gover the head of the tube J' and allow it to shrink in upon the neck at l( and forni a perfectly-tight connection.

The following is the operation ol' my inlpressed by the hand and the air forced ont, when the nozzle B :is plunged into hot water or other liquid, andthe bulb H is released and expands,iilling with water or other liquid, in a manner well understood. The bulb B and shaft Care then placed in the vagina,with the nozzle downward and inward, until the shield A pertectlyoccludes the mouth ofthe vagina. The pressure of the hand is then applied to the bulb H and the fluid injected into the vagina, where it may bc retained as longl as de sired by continuing the pressure of the hand upon the bulb H and holding the shield AV closely to the mouth of the vagina. Upon re leasing the bulb II it expands and draws the uid back' intothe saine. Thus the operation may be repeated as often as required without the least danger ol'wetting or soiling` the bedding.

Having thus described my invention, what I clainnand desire to secure by Letters latent, 1s-

In a syringe, thecombination,witli the bulb and a flexible tube connected therewith, of a taperingfunnelshaped shield having the passage F, a stem removably secured within thc shield and connectedwith the flexible tube, and a nozzle removably secured to thc shield andhaving thc channels D, in which are lo cated the ednction-openings, as set forth.
